Clinical Hope
Clinical Hope documents dogs with terminal cancer undergoing clinical trials in order to minimize their pain and extend their lives. Cancer is one of the leading causes of death in dogs, and our canine companions fall prey to the same types of malignancies as humans. While cancer treatments for dogs have largely been derived from human oncology, this paradigm is shifting due to significant advances in canine cancer research.
Findings from these trials are improving the quality of life and treatment options for dogs while informing parallel efforts in human oncology. In this new frontier of cancer therapies, dogs continue to serve us by acting as an important model for progressive cancer research.
